So ever since my junior year in high school, i had came to the decision to be a physical therapist. It was a set-n stone decision. I remember thinking it's not to much school, i wont dread going to work everyday, and they make pretty good money. So i get to Texas State and I see an organization fro pre physical therapy majors. I'm like ohhh! okay, perfect! i remember when i walked up to the table and i told him I was a freshman, he was kinda surprised but he said, "oh, well its really good to start early."
Which wasn't very convincing but I didn't mind anyway. So i show up to the first meeting, and i see all these older looking people, and im like..... wow. So then they have this guest speaker and he just starts talking about how hard you have to work, and how competitive even getting into PT school is. And even after that, the struggle isn't over, theres loads of work and its pretty expensive. I just instantly start freaking out because I was not expecting things to be so difficult. Im kind of an easy going, go with the flow person and the way he made Physical Therapy seem, it was like do or die! So i go to the next meeting already kind of discouraged, and they start talking about 400 hours of volunteering, and they used all these terms and terminology that i couldn't even begin to process what they meant. I felt like a lost puppy, literally. I really hope that its only because i'm a freshman that i dont understand. But i decided to suck it up and stick with it. Hopefully i survive :D
